The rack may carry 9 bottles of 0, 75 l or more at the maximum (total weight max. · Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper), or stored in covered containers or bottles. · Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package). · Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around packages. · Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. · Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position. · Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!· Foods should be cooled down before storing. · Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator. · Try not to open the door too often. · Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods. Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached. · Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damage and when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material. 14 · Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.

The Freezer Door is Hard to Open If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is getting cool, the underpressure seals the door. [. . . ]
